The trim code probably deserves a very aggressive unit test to make
sure it works correctly, but yeah, we should be able to control any
trim bugs.

Will we be able to query the device and find out its TRIM/UNMAP
alignment requirements?  There is also a balanace between performance
(at least if the concern is sending too many separate TRIM commands)
and giving the SSD more flexibility in its wear-leveling allocation
decisions by sending TRIM commands sooner rather than later.
